Horrible Bosses 2

This review may contain spoilers!

Horrible Bosses 2 has fast become one of my favourite films of the year! I would give Horrible Bosses 2 an 8,5/10.

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this film's sense of comedic genius was; I mean both improvised dialogue and scripted was so brilliant. The plot, while very similar to the first film, was certainly a worthy sequel. The music was also incredibly well used, I love music comedy as I've said before but I really have to give special mention to Katy Perry's 'Roar' and N.W.A's 'Straight Outta Compton'. I also have a lot of love for the stunts and special effects in the film that were so cleverly used in places like the car chase scene or fake kidnapping dream sequence. I really enjoyed the cinematography and the editing, the shots were clever and kept the film alive.

Kevin Spacey, who played Dave Harken, had one of the best cameos I've ever seen as well as one of the most impactful film endings. Jamie Foxx, who played Dean 'Motherfucker' Jones, was a scene stealer in this film; he really came into his own and even topped Spacey at the film's end. Chris Pine, who played Rex Hanson, really worked well into the main trio's dynamic; he definitely staked his place as one of the headlining comedic characters of the film. Christoph Waltz, who played Bert Hanson, really brought a great presence in his role; he very quickly joined the ranks of some very horrible bosses.

You can't say just one when it comes to the best actor of the film, really you have three. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, who played Nick Hendricks, Kurt Buckman and Dale Arbus respectfully. These three together are a comedic powerhouse and have some smooth and flawless banter. There is a reason lightning struck twice with this sequel and it is because of these three.

I feel like one of the things that let this film down was it's tendency to let the comedic banter go on for a bit long; this meant the plot dwelled a bit too long on some moments it should have moved away from.

Jennifer Aniston, who played Dr. Julia Harris D.D.S, wasn't all that necessary to the plot of the sequel; her return felt forced and her plot really was not entertaining this time round.
